The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Matthews had not expected that the referee would praise him so much, praising him as the number one young generation in the southeastern countries, and even describing Archduke Leo as his swordsmanship teacher.

In fact, these were all instructed by Grand Duke Leo, who hoped to give Matthews more confidence in this way.

Following the referee's signal, the two duelists stepped onto the duel field. Benjamin walked lightly, looking energetic, while Matthews walked steadily, revealing a calm demeanor.

Both sides were wearing soft armor, light half-gloves on their hands, and holding knight swords, ready for a fierce duel.

In the center of the arena, Benjamin and Matthews stood face to face, staring at each other, neither willing to give in. They gradually adjusted their breathing, their swords in front of them in their own unique starting positions.

At this moment, all words seem pale and powerless, because there is no room for maneuver in this duel, it is either you die or I die.

The referee announced loudly: "Today's duel has been agreed upon by both parties. It will not only determine the winner, but also the life and death! Everyone present will be a witness to the duel. Now, I declare the duel of life and death officially begins!"

As the referee's voice fell, the tense atmosphere reached its climax and the audience held their breath.

As soon as the referee's announcement fell, Benjamin launched an attack as swiftly as a cheetah. His swordsmanship was extraordinary and each swing of the sword was like the force of wind and thunder, unpredictable and difficult to grasp. His offensive was as surging as the tide, and it seemed that he would instantly drown Matthews.

Matthews used his quick sword skillfully. He did not dare to let his guard down at all. Every step he took was extremely cautious to ensure that his defense was impeccable.

The tip of his sword drew silver tracks in the air, as if weaving an invisible net, firmly blocking Benjamin's attack route.

Benjamin and Matthews moved quickly, swords flashing, attacking and defending in an orderly manner, advancing and retreating in a measured manner. The audience below was concentrating on watching this wonderful duel. The whole scene was silent, with only the slight sound of swords colliding with each other.

Every time the swords intersected, there was an accompanying crisp sound of metal colliding, as if they were playing a passionate symphony.

Matthews felt that he seemed to have overestimated Benjamin's swordsmanship, because he found that the opponent's swordsmanship could not break through his fast sword defense line at all.

At the same time, Benjamin was surprised to find that Matthews' swordsmanship had greatly improved in speed compared to the last time they fought. He had launched dozens of attacks in a row, but still failed to break through Matthews' defense.

Since both sides used fast swords, the duel was extremely tense and exciting. The audience held their breath and stared at the two people in the arena, afraid of missing any exciting moments.

Grand Duke Soqin turned to Sword Master Claude, his eyes revealing his curiosity about swordsmanship: "Master, can you see the swordsmanship he is using?"

Sword Master Claude nodded slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Judging from the characteristics of his swordsmanship, it should be the secret of the Leo family - Leo's fast sword. I never thought that the Leo family would teach such a swordsmanship to an outsider."

After hearing this, Grand Duke Suoqin's eyes flashed with solemnity, and then he nodded in agreement: "Yes, it should be this sword technique. I have heard that Leo's sword is amazingly fast. After seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved!"

On the field, Benjamin and Matthews were fighting fiercely. Benjamin relied on the Sochin family swordsmanship to attack like a tide, but he could not break through Matthews' tight defense. Matthews' swordsmanship was like an iron wall, dispelling Benjamin's attacks one by one.

However, Benjamin was not discouraged. He switched his swordsmanship easily. With just a simple horizontal slash, he switched to another swordsmanship. This change was so fast that Matthews could not react in time. Then, Benjamin launched an even more swift and fierce attack.

Sword Master Claude exclaimed sincerely on the sidelines: "It's really wonderful! This is the highest realm of swordsmanship transformation. Benjamin is undoubtedly one of my most outstanding disciples. It's really not easy to be able to transform so smoothly and freely!"

Grand Duke Suoqin also nodded in agreement, praising him highly: "He is indeed outstanding. It is really rare for him to reach such a level at his age. He is the hope for the future of our Suoqin family."

On the field, Matthews was instantly exposed to Benjamin's swift and fierce attack. Although this flaw was not fatal, it fully exposed the characteristics of Leo's sword, which sacrificed some power in pursuit of speed. His defense began to have a brief gap, like a crack, giving Benjamin's sword an opportunity to take advantage.

However, Matthews did not panic because he knew the weakness of the fast sword technique and understood that he had to work harder to use the fast sword and speed up the ghost step to make up for the lack of power.

Although Matthews' defense was not completely broken for the time being, under Benjamin's relentless pressure, the space for him to use his quick sword was greatly compressed.

Grand Duke Sochin nodded approvingly: "Benjamin is indeed outstanding. He has mastered the essence of Master Claude's swordsmanship." His eyes were full of pride and expectation for his grandson.

Sword Master Claude smiled and replied, "Yes, Benjamin has been learning from me for more than ten years. I clearly remember the time you brought him to me. He was less than ten years old at that time, but he had already shown extraordinary intelligence and determination.

In the years that followed, he proved his unparalleled talent in kendo. Whenever I see him perform with ease on the court, I feel proud of my original choice. "

There was a relaxed and joyful atmosphere in their conversation, as if they were reminiscing about a beautiful past.

On the field, Matthews felt unprecedented pressure. Benjamin's swordsmanship was so powerful that he could hardly breathe. However, he knew that he had not yet reached his limit. Although he was firmly suppressed by Benjamin, he still had some room for maneuver and was not forced into a desperate situation.

At the same time, Matthews knew that he had to remain highly alert. He foresaw that Benjamin was about to display even more powerful sword skills, intending to break through his defense in one fell swoop. This was a battle involving life and dignity, and he could not relax at all.

After observing for a while, Hunter said: "Grandfather, Benjamin doesn't seem to be as invincible as we expected. Although Matthews is at a disadvantage, he still has room to fight back."

Archduke Leo's expression remained calm, but his eyes became deep. "The battle has just begun, and Benjamin has not yet shown his true strength. Matthews must remain vigilant and be ready to deal with Benjamin's stronger sword moves at any time."

At this moment, Benjamin suddenly launched a thunderous attack. This attack seemed to gather all his strength, instantly shaking the long sword in Matthews' hand away, revealing a fatal flaw. Benjamin immediately seized the opportunity and launched a series of attacks that had been planned long ago.

Matthews was terrified. His ghost steps were completely useless at this time. He could only hastily use the snake-like sliding steps taught by teacher Lieben to barely avoid Benjamin's sword. However, Benjamin's attacks followed him like a shadow, one after another, and Matthews had no way to avoid them.

At this critical moment, Matthews could only hold his sword close to his body to block. Benjamin's move was very powerful. Even though Matthews blocked Benjamin's sword with the sword, he was still injured by the remaining force. He only felt a sharp pain in the left side of his chest, and blood immediately gushed out from the wound.
